If you’re hoping to stick to your diet, here’s the solution: Keep your house free of anti-diet foods. I can’t tell how many times I’ve experienced intense cravings (especially late at night) and found myself rummaging through the kitchen cupboards searching for a snack. Do you want to know how I stopped myself from eating a massive bowl of ice cream or bag of chips? It’s easy: I couldn’t find them in my cupboards or fridge because I don’t buy them! Although I recommend a day of guilty indulgence for most dieters, I also recommend that the diet-cheating food be purchased that same day (and in moderation to avoid leftovers), and not before.
